In the 787-8, where is the onboard wheelchair stored?

• A. onboard - right storage space under bar
• B. onboard - under seat in galley
• C. onboard - MC storage closet
• D. onboard - overhead bin

Answer: (A)

The onboard wheelchair is stored in the right storage space under the bar. This placement keeps the chair in a forward, crew-accessible area near the galley, allowing quick retrieval during boarding assistance or in a medical situation without passing through passenger seating. It also avoids taking up seats, blocking aisles, or climbing to higher compartments. Other locations aren’t as practical: under a seat in the galley would complicate access and removal, a closet labeled MC storage isn’t designated for mobility devices, and an overhead bin would place the chair out of reach and awkward to retrieve.
